The L’arioso Clnb have added a new feature to their ball—a gymnasi um. A class, under Mr. W. F. Door- flinger, is now being drilled, and it is wonderful what attainments have been already tnade by them. Mr. Mil- liean seems the most proficient mem ber of tbe class, and, we gness, has bad some little tutoring before. We hope tbe class will give a public exbi bition ns soon as they perfect thom- wlok at The sweet potato crop of this sec tion has been a paying one tbe past RCiison. The demnDd has been great er than the supply. Hundreds of bushels have boon shipped to the in terior, and the cry is, “still more wanted.” It used to pay to raise sweet potatoes at twenty-five cents a bushel, and when a man realized thir ty-one and a half cents he thought he was doing extra well. They now sell at over doable tho latter figure by tbe quantity. Fcrnandina Express: “Tbe work of demolishing the walls of the old Duu- genness mansion, preparatory to com mencing work on tho new, was com menced on the Gtb iust. Blasting powder is being used iu the work.— We cannot bnt regret the destructioD of tho old ruins, even though a far finer structure will take their place.” We heartily agree with onr eotem- porury. It does look like a sacrilege to tear down those walls, of which so much him been written, touchiig Georgia’s curly history. The place will lose half of its interest to tin- tourist. Combat With a ’Gator. Onr young friend James Wright, Eeq., of Sterling, is tli> champion *gsc tor Idllsr of these part* He slew four one Hjf J|tfJ 4wk, onj? # ; lbma,;fce largest of the lot (about eleven feet in length) was almost a match for him, bat was finally slain under the following circumstances: Mr. Wright finding that some dogs Jie bad oqib • iwwij Buffalo swamp to the river and find* ing the calf in tbe water at bay, snr- ronnded by tbe dogs, and seeing a huge alligator making for them, dis mounted and wading in*Tried to get *4 stif/nd ddpfrj* scute interpreting 1 ids motives, went farther into the water. Mr. Wright waded in after him mid catching one dog by tbe bind legs, bnrled it ont on the bank, strnok the 'gator on the bead with a stick, and seeing the yearling, undertook to drag him ashore and tbns save his dogs from tbe fearfal monster, bat in this he failed, for Mr. ’Gator took the calf by tbe head and drew him under and soon drowned him. That afternoon at low water, Mr. W. went book to tbe spot and there fonnd his ’gntorship standing guard over his tropby, about fifty feet away from tbe water, jnst where the tide had left them. Bushing np to him, he fired one barrel of bis gnn in to bim, whereupon tbe monster turned upon bim for fight. Another barrel quieted bim until Mr. Wright could reload and dispatch bim. That ’gator was no doubt in senrob of bis first prey, after coming ont of winter quarters, and us such was an ugly antagonist. Oar Trip to St. Simons. In company with a few ladies of bis own household, tbe writer took a trip last Wednesday to St. Simons Island, visited tbe beaob, tbe light bonse, eta Having a regular correspondent on tbe Island, we don’t wish to “steal his thunder,” bnt jnst to speak of one or two things that we saw in person. iTbe cleanest, neatest, cosiest little ■pot we have seen in many a day is tbe lamp room on tbe top of tbe 8b Simons lighthouse, 116 feet above ter ra fir mo.

Hertel. Messrs. As bell and Kdaton, tbe keeper and assistant of tbe lighthouse, beep everything in fine order, and gnard that lamp with zealous care. Tbe St. Simons Mills have bad a new improvement put on that takes all the debris from the entire mill and carries it away upon nn inclined plane to a point hundreds of feet away from the mill and thirty-five feet in the air, and there drops it into the slab pit. This new improvement is composed of two endless chains each a qnartor of a mile long, with just two tons of iron strips, two inches wide nnd twelve inches long, riveted to the links. Mr DnnielH Kepllen, Sterling Station, Ga., March 16 th, 1882. Mr. Editor: I read a communication in your last issue on “That Brick Yard,” in which it was assorted that I went to tbe Myers lnnding “between two snns, like a thief in the night," and removed the lumber without Mr. Geo. C. Myers’ knowledge. I arrived there at three o’clock p. m., and left after eight o’clock tho next day. If I hud gone there between two suns, as he stated, I didn’t owe hiai anything, nor he did not, iu any manner, have any claim on anything I carried away, and if he, George C. Myers, understood tho circu in stances about which he wrote, lie lied when he said I went “between two suns," etc. I will not pay any tiou to any further newspaper spoudence, but if be is ugrii knows where to lino me. Very respectfully, Moses Daniel. l-'aMt Time. The steumei State of Texas, Captain Bisk, Mallory’s line, made tbe best time from Now York to Brunswick on her last trip that ever has been made. orre- .1 lie We frequently hear people com plain of nigh taxation in Brunswick, and go so far as to say that taxes are higher hero than iu other cities.

This is a healthy sign for Hoboken, and shows life and pros- l>erity. More .ngu end coffee to the doller end a better article then el any other house in town at Gold* smith k Co.'s, the Does Grocers. St. Simons Mills Indies are fond of aquatic sports. A party ot five, with out any gentlemen, were ont rowing lust Wednesday, and we should pro nounce them good uarsmen. They handled those oars with nil the grace tal tax $1 875 per $100, or $18.75 per thousand. Quit grumbling, croakors, and let us autborizo our city fathers to put on a little more tax for school purposes, ota. What say you ? Gordon tan Club.

The HruiiMWiolc Postmust»rsbip< From telegrams received ws loam that President Arthar has nominated John L. Newton, Esq., for tbe Fost- mastership of Brunswick. This is certainly strange conduct Tbe ap pointment of Mr. North tkas confirm ed some time since, and bis bond has been made np and sent on weeks ago. Why this sudden change we have not yri learned. Mr. North has served ns faithfully for a number of years, and our people do pot desire any change, unless it be to put in >i Dem ocrat We believe that Mr. North could secure tbe signatures of nine- ton ths of our citizens to a petition for his retention. His great crime, we suppose, like Col. Collins, is that be Hie Receipt**. In tho near past, a car load of any one article for one firm, excepting lum ber and naval storoH, was a big event.
